  H.C.R. No. 125
 
 
 
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, Residents of Marshall are gathering at the State
  Capitol on March 30, 2011, to celebrate the contributions of their
  fair city to the Lone Star State; and
         WHEREAS, Located near the Texas-Louisiana border in the
  beautiful rolling hills of East Texas, the city was named in honor
  of Chief Justice John Marshall and has served as the seat of
  Harrison County since 1842; and
         WHEREAS, By 1860, Marshall had become one of the largest and
  wealthiest towns in the region, and its success was due in large
  part to the railway system that supported the town's commercial and
  industrial development and sizable agricultural industry; and
         WHEREAS, Today, blessed with an abundance of red and white
  clay, residents of Marshall have built a flourishing ceramics
  industry, with 12 wholesale pottery manufacturers, five retail
  outlets, and countless talented artisans; and
         WHEREAS, The city has long been considered an educational
  center for East Texas, as it is home to three institutions of higher
  learning: East Texas Baptist University, Texas State Technical
  College, and Wiley College; and
         WHEREAS, For many years, citizens of Marshall have
  demonstrated a deep commitment to preserving their heritage, as
  evidenced by the Ginocchio National Historic District, which
  features one of the state's finest examples of Victorian hotel
  architecture, the 1896 Ginocchio Hotel; the city is also the site of
  the Texas and Pacific Depot, the Allen House, the Weisman Center,
  and the Harrison County Historical Museum, all of which contribute
  to a revitalized downtown area; and
         WHEREAS, Supporting a thriving arts community as well, the
  city is aided by the Marshall Regional Arts Council, which has
  presented lively seasons of performances to residents and tourists
  alike for the past two decades; the Michelson Museum of Art, the
  Marshall Symphony, and the Marshall Visual Arts Center all
  contribute to the cultural vibrancy of this remarkable East Texas
  city; and
         WHEREAS, Marshall was named an All-American City by the
  National Municipal League in 1976, and the city's residents remain
  justifiably proud of this prestigious honor as they continue their
  efforts to preserve the city's rich history while preparing for a
  bright and promising future; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby recognize March 30, 2011, as Marshall Day at the State
  Capitol and extend to all those who are visiting sincere best wishes
  for an enjoyable and informative trip to the State Capitol.
